Synthesis, Characterization and Toxic Metal-Binding Ability of Poly(γ-glutamic acid)-coated Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONPs) coated with a non-toxic, edible biopolymer poly(-glutamic acid) (PGA-coated SPIONs) were synthesized by co-precipitation method, characterized and evaluated for their possible toxic metal-binding ability in the treatment of metal intoxication [...]
